Police in Tallahassee, Florida are working to piece together the case of two women found dead near a golf course.

Their remains have been uncovered after an alleged shooting on Tuesday afternoon, March 26, The Tampa Tribune Online reports.

Local station WTXL mentions that authorities have been alerted by golfers hearing shots coming from an apartment complex located next to the course.

Leon County Sheriff's Office officers were called in at approximately 5 p.m., after the players walked to the building to inquire about the shooting.

The witnesses noticed the women's bodies, which were lying in a patch of grass located between the course and the neighboring residential area.

Tallahassee.com reported that they waited until police arrived at the Whispering Woods condominium style apartment complex, near Ramble Brook and Blair Stone.

However, they could not give any more details on the assailant, Sheriff's Office press rep Lt. James McQuaig explains.

They haven't spotted anyone suspicious leaving the scene once approaching it, and cannot provide information on the identity of the shooter.

The victims were deceased when emergency staff got to them, and police are not yet releasing their names and ages until the investigation progresses. There is no information about whether or not the victims lived in Whispering Woods at this point.

Autopsy results should be out by later today, sources say, at which time law enforcement officials will provide the names of the two shooting victims.

In another golf course shooting from last year, a homeowner living next to Lakeridge Golf Course in Reno, Nevada pulled a gun on a player for accidentally breaking one of his windows.

A stray ball smashing the window prompted 59-year-old Jeff Feleming to get a shotgun and fire at a golfer causing minor injuries, FOX Reno detailed.
